Hand Soap Savings
Today is Frugal Friday at Life As Mom. She shares her family's secret to saving on hand soap. Families with many small kids use tons of hand soap.
We have a hand soap tip too!
I received a delightful gift with a bottle of foaming hand soap from Bath and Body Works. The kids and I love it!
As an experiment, I poured some hand soap in the empty foaming bottle from a refill bottle I had purchased inexpensively. It worked well but seemed a little too thick. So, I added water. Works perfectly!
I fill the bottle with a little more than half soap. I couldn't say the exact soap to water ratio. I just eyeball it.
A great way to stretch the hand soap.
Bonus: Kids love the foam!
Happy Frugal Friday! Enjoy the savings at Life As Mom!

Great tip! I'll have to try it!
Yes, we have a ROUND budget too!
I enjoy the challenge. I think we may be going down to one vehicle soon. That will be interesting! 
Making homemade foamy hand soap is easy and cheap! You only need to use 2-4 tablespoons of soap and fill with water. I have a post about it here: http://cuttingcouponsinkc.blogspot.com/2009/05/homemade-hand-soap.html
@georgene - You are doing your part. I know that God will be faithful to do his.
@Amy-Cutting Coupons in KC - hmmm... I haven't considered using so much less soap. I wonder if it is still effective at preventing the spread of germs? My thinking was that the mixture still be mostly soap. With four littles, I gotta be sure those germs are getting washed away! lol I'll have to experiment with using less. Thanks for the tip!
Praying for things to go as planned in June.
